- The soil and climate conditions of Carneros make the area well-suited for sparkling wines in particular, as well as Chardonnays and Pinot Noirs, but many other varietals are grown here including Cabernet Sauvignon, Grenache, Sauvignon Blanc, and Zinfandel.
- There are many different members of the Carneros Wine Alliance and lots of wineries operating in the region.
- Many of these wineries open their doors regularly to the public, inviting guests inside for tastings, purchases, tours, and more.
